The differential equation of all circles passing through the origin and having their centres on the x-axis, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The equation of the family of circles passing through the origin and having their centres on x-axis is
$(x-a)^2+(y-0)^2=a^2$ or, $x^2+y^2-2 a x=0$
Differentiating w.r. to x, we get
$2 x+2 y \frac{d y}{d x}-2 a=0 \Rightarrow a=x+y \frac{d y}{d x}$
Substituting the value of a in (i), we get
$x^2+y^2-2 x^2-2 x y \frac{d y}{d x}=0$ or, $y^2=x^2+2 x y \frac{d y}{d x}$
as the required differential equation.
